Before uploading any images taken from Nintendo 3DS games, please take a moment to read this message.Got a spare minute? The Archives need some love. See the to-do list to find a way to help.If you upload a new image make sure you name and categorize it properly. If in doubt, ask an admin or see our FAQ page.

I already knew that rule.
So don't remind me thousand times.Every person send me the same message.I have made a mistake once and in future i will try to do my effort without making the same mistake.So please if you don't mind then don't remind me that same thing thousand times.

Categories = Important

Always put them onto new images you upload, as you upload them. If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at this guide. — THE TROM — 06:28, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry but i don't get it.
Please explain it in details.
--Adyniz 06:30, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Okay now i get it.
Thnx for helping me buddy.
I have a question. I have uploaded a new image of Ash's Staraptor using Aerial Ace.Everything is fine but i don't no why when i open the article then the image's thumbnail was gone.
Please can you help me?
--Adyniz 06:39, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Summaries

Every image needs a summary describing what is going on in the image. That's the whole reason for the Summary text box on the upload screen. Maverick Nate 15:33, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Long time ago, when i used to add images then an administrator told me to write category in the summary box and now you are saying this.
So what should i do?
Shall i mention both things?
--Adyniz 15:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Recently, i have uploaded a new image for "pokedex" article.
Check it out and tell me is there any mistake in the summary box now?
--Adyniz 15:35, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Well you do need to spell correctly, but yes you do put the summary and the category in the same box. —darklordtrom 20:52, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Yo

Thanks for getting better images. However, when you do replace the old ones, mark them with {{delete}} so we know that they are ready to be destroyed. We don't like having low-quality images lurking around here, especially if they aren't being used. —darklordtrom 11:34, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Its my pleasure buddy.
But please tell me one thing where to put that delete template.
Can you explain me in a little bit detail, if you don't mind?
--Adyniz 15:54, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Go to the old image's page. Click "edit". Write {{delete}} anywhere before the license ({{i-Fairuse}} etc). Then leave it for one of us to find. —darklordtrom 21:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, not every character has a category. Please try to put Category:Characters of the day instead of all the other names you have been putting. All important characters each have one of their own, but anime characters are lumped together. Maverick Nate 18:53, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

One more question, what category should i put in the episode images?
I mean, if i upload an image as an episode's main pic then which category should i write.
--Adyniz 07:25, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

If you see a Pokémon or character, put that in a category. In addition, head images need to have the template {{I-Fairuse-anime-head-Epicode|Title|Number}}. That can be put in the upload summary box, too. —darklordtrom 10:40, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, but what do you mean by head images?
Secondly, i have to write episode number in Epicode box, what should i write in Title and number box?
I am extremely sorry for bothering you all the time.
--♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 12:15, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Epicode here meaning EP, H, AG, DP, etc. Number meaning 001, 100, 349, etc. Title meaning the title of the episode. A head image is one that is used on the infobox of the Bulbapedia article. It's called the head image because it's at the head of the article. —darklordtrom 22:37, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Don't put in the colon when you want to actually use the category. Only put in the ":" when you want to link to that page without putting it into the category. So, you should be putting [[Category:Characters of the day]] onto pages, not with the :. Maverick Nate 17:30, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh man, n a single week i made a bundle of mistakes. What should i do now?
I will try to remember that category thing.
--♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 17:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry about mistakes. They are easily fixed and they aren't a problem. The biggest thing you can do is learn from them, and don't make the same one twice. That's when people will begin to see you as a hassle. Now, all you are is someone learning how to do. That isn't a big deal, so don't worry. Maverick Nate 17:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Linking

You can't link to Bulbapedia articles here using square brackets. You have to use a link template, template:bp. Simply write {{bp|foo}} and that will send you to the Bulbapedia article "foo". Not that there is one, but you get the point. —darklordtrom 12:02, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Can you explain it in a little bit detail? --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 12:04, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Here, we use {{bp}} to link to Bulbapedia articles. {{bp|Ash Ketchum}} instead of just [[Ash Ketchum]]. Get it? Thanks, Kevzo8 13:47, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

So, i should put both [Category:...] as well as {{bp:name of the article}} in the summary box. Am i right? --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 04:36, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

You need to provide a description of what the image is. Linking to Bulbapedia can help with that. —darklordtrom 07:31, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Images

Please do not take images from other site. Stealing images from other sites is against our rules as well as the other sites. It is worthy of getting blocked for stealing. So please do not steal images from other sites again. Thank you, --☆Coolピカチュウ! 08:05, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

That includes PokéWiki and Pokémon Safari, too. Just clarifying.--Mewa.k.a.Immewnity 11:06, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I have not stolen it from anyone mister. I am an uploader and i uploaded the episode (on youtube) by recording it and i also take those preview snapshots from my own recorded video. This is not fair, i worked so hard in recording it and you guys are just blaming me. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 15:06, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Then why is the picture a carbon copy of it? Because when I copy & pasted the one the you uploaded and saved it from the web, it gave it the exact same byte-size as the one you may of gotten from. --☆Coolピカチュウ! 04:29, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

That is not my problem. You don't have any right to blame me without any proof. First of all, this picture is not available anywhere (OK) and secondly i snapped it from my recorded preview. So, what is the problem? Do you have any proof that i have stolen it? Is there any tag on the picture? NO. I know that you are an administrator but that doesn't mean that you will block me without any proof or reason. Again, i am saying that i have not stolen it. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 04:42, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

You are right, I can not block for any random reson. But, can you please get a different screenshot from the preview then. Since another site has a similar picture to yours so reupload a different one. --☆Coolピカチュウ! 04:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Okay, i will try to upload any other screenshot. Thanks for listening me. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 04:49, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Reverting of image DP161.png

Do not revert it again. This decision was made in a chat of admins, and as per the image reversion policy, you need the permission of said admin to do this. AiedailEclipsed 02:22, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, but you have mentioned the reason to undo it. It was totally fine and matched to the title, what's wrong with it? --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 03:36, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

I mean to say that you should have mentioned the reason for UNDOing it. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 03:38, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Aie has the authority to revert any image reversions, but he might have forgotten what edit summaries are for. In that case, you should have talk page him before reverting it again. Personally though, the present image is bigger and cuter, unlike those plain expressions from Buneary and Piplup, plus the tiny Dawn. Sorry.. Kevzo8 03:48, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, about snapping, its just I've been sick since this morning and yeah. And I purposely left the edit summary off, to explain to you via talk page and answer any questions, plus the summary would have been huge. AiedailEclipsed 04:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh, no problem. I can totally understand. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 10:45, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, Ht. Without spoilers. I uploaded one. Didn't you see it at recent uploads? I uploaded a pic that comes from the same shot Adyniz's pic came from, almost the exact same pic albeit a slight difference and the image size and quality of course. --Hmdwgf 04:14, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

@Hmd: Isn't it exact the same size as mine one (as a header, not talking about resolution)? Both are looking quite similar and have the similar angle as well. Isn't it?

One more thing, the headers on a lot of the episodes have SAME SIZE + SAME RESOLUTION as the one that I uploaded then whats wrong with that? I am talking about headers of the EP series. Then?

Anyway, I will try to upload better pics in the future. But I need one explanation from you HMDWGF, remember when I uploaded a super small pic from TV Tokyo for bulbanews purpose then you told me that I should never upload small images like that one. But Tc26 is continuously uploading the same SUPER SMALL pics from TV Tokyo site when a new episode is revealed then why didn't you tried to stop him? I am not being rude but I need this explanation because this thing is bugging me from few weeks. --♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 09:55, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Um... clearly not. It's the same pic (albeit a small difference), but the pic you uploaded was 200x150 and the pic I uploaded is 640x480. Mine is more than 3 times wider, taller and higher quality. Pics that are as small as 200x150 look bad even on headers. Just go take a look at the pics for the Indigo Conference episodes. Maybe I'll go replace those myself. Anyway, those super small pics are for Bulbanews only, and I suppose there is nothing you can do considering it's a screenshot that TV Tokyo put on their website and the episode hasn't even previewed yet, so I guess it's fine. And I didn't know that Tc26 was uploading those small pics. And even if I did know he was doing that, I would have asked him why he was doing that, but Tc is an admin in the Archives and at Bulbanews, so I figured he probably knew what he was doing. I should have figured out the small pics thing earlier. It's a mistake on my part. Those are being used for Bulbanews only. And no, you should never ever upload images that small for Bulbapedia use. And don't ask why, I just explained it to you. Unless it's for personal use. --Hmdwgf 22:34, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

High resolution thing; Got it :)

BulbaNews small pics; don't worry, I will upload those small pics but only for bulbanews purpose not bulbapedia just like tc.

Thanks a lot for the explanation. --♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 01:05, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

User:Immewnity/AllSugimori, this should help you with your process of making images transparent. They're up a against a black background, which shows you if you've done a good job or not. Hope that helps. --JelloTalk 04:40, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Not needing to alarm you but...

When? Look, I didn't know that. Most of the serebiians are also saying the same thing. If I would have known that I would have never informed anybody (Bulba + Serebii). One more thing, I got it from a site so I thought it was real. But I guess I was wrong and was idiot to believe on that site. I'll take care of this thing next time and I informed you guys because I was so excited about new Pokés. I'm sorry again. --♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 08:44, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Dawn contest

Since the list of clothing in the anime page says about Dawn customizing her contest dress, maybe we can just post the pictures of the variety of of her dress there. If you think that's a terrible idea, I'm okay w/ that, and delete the pics if they're taking too much space --Renzo493 10:26, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Random comment

Hey

Where'd you get the screenshots of DP174 from? They look suspiciously like Serebii's... ht14 21:35, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Like serebii's (grr...)? I never ever steal anything from other sites (if I do then I always mention the credit). I took it from our filb (as usual :P, you can easily guess that by looking at the resolution). Don't worry bud, I'll never do anything stupid which can cause trouble for my beloved bulba. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 03:10, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Not to mention, serebii is not the one who uploads screenshots. It's filb who originally uploads them and then serebii/others sites use them. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 03:14, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Still, like I said to Renzo, give credit where it's due. That's all. Either that, or don't upload them at all... ht14 20:15, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Ok, hang on. Bulbapedia itself says that checkout filb for further screenshots on every episode article. Can you tell where should I mention filb's name on images? Tc26 (the archives administrator himself) is using filb's screenshots from years, no body said him a single word about mentioning credits (no offense tc, just trying to justify my edits). ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 06:01, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

TC got them from there? Hmm... just put it on the summary: Credit goes to Filb.de, or something of the sort. ht14 19:05, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Yup, he got it from there. Well, I think it will be better if there is a seperate license template thingy for it. What do you think? ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 19:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

That'd be the equivalent to making a license for Serebii... maybe... nope, I don't like it though... ht14 19:37, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. But it will look really weird, that filb.de thingy in summary. I mean Tc26 or anybody else never mentioned any kind of credit in the summary. I know that other sites don't want their personal stuff to be shared but I don't think filb is in one of them. If we added that filb thingy in summary then we have to add it in every single image which is not a small number as we (me, Tc and most of users) are using filb's screenshots as our article images/headers etc from a long time. The number of images taken from filb is very much high. So, it's damn hard to edit each and every single image. Can't we have a kind of conference or discussion in which we can take a united decision? If not then I think at least admins should have a conference type of thing so that they can decide these things. What do you say? ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 19:44, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

I'll talk to them. Just be patient. For now though, I'd prefer it if you use your own screenshots for use. Thanks. ht14 20:15, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Ya, sure I will. I will try to use my own screenshots until you guys decide. Thank you. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 03:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Bulbagarden has a formal affiliation with Filb. I believe that as part of that, we are allowed to use their images and vice versa. I'll make a note to check with TTE/Nate. —darklordtrom 06:02, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Adyniz D:

You caught me at a really bad time since I was about to head to class! But please don't create categories for new Pokémon! The way I see it, we're only going to be using them for a few months and when the English version comes out, we'll be going with those. So we'll have a whole bunch of useless categories to delete. The romanizations are inconsistent as well, since they change depending on who complains about it. It's just too much of a hassle. —♥Jellotalk 17:55, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Also, when you move images, it's common courtesy to change the filename used in Bulbapedia articles as well. Thanks. —♥Jellotalk 20:23, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I already did that. After moving images, I renamed them on bulbapedia as well (if they're being used there). Thanks for the help. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 21:41, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

One more thing, change the templates on here too please. D: Earlier today you renamed a file, Ashag.png, which was being used in the AG template and Jell deleted it which caused the template to break from both the moving and the deletion. So check here too in the future please~ Thank you~ --Psyライダー☮ 21:49, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that, it was my carelessness that I didn't check the templates. I'll try to remember this thing next time. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 21:54, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

In my mind, the é is fine in file names. Zhen Lin has said there is nothing wrong with using it. MaverickNate 17:51, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

I still remember that old discussion regarding server issues and this thing came in front. I don't remember the name of that user, but an admin said that é can cause the problem. Anyway, if you and Zhen Lin think so, then I guess é is fine. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 11:44, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Archaic keeps using it as a scape goat for server problems even though it has been proven not to cause any problems. MaverickNate 01:25, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

One more itsy bitsy thing~ Because of server stress and whatnot, it takes a while for images to sync from the Archives to BP. The image does exist, however it doesn't show up because of the issues. Usually a good couple of hard refreshes, purges or even a dry edit should make the image appear. Thanks~ --Psyライダー☮ 20:45, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I usually try to refresh the image & make some simple dry edits but this time, nothing worked and server sync was taking forever. So, I thought moving it would be good idea but... Any who, it seems to be working fine now :) ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 20:49, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Saving a .jpg to a .png isn't really preferred here. It's better if you can get a better quality and save that as .png. Thanks. —♥Jellotalk 16:39, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry Jel, I know it was completely a noobish mistake. Usually, I take png screenshots from a 720p crystal clear video myself. But HD episodes take time in downloading so I had to use filb's screenshot till my downloading completes. That's why I just uploaded some needed pics, rest of them will upload later tonight in HD. Nevermind, I always try to take care this png-jpg stuff ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 16:48, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. Also, could you get screenshot of Ash's Isshu team? Someone uploaded a really crappy .jpg of that and it's being used in the article right now, so the faster we replace it, the better. —♥Jellotalk 16:52, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Images

Do you know anywhere else I could get images? DoTheWave 05:44, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, you can take your own screen shots. Well, youtube is not preferred but you can take some screenshots from the episodes on youtube, if and only if they are in high quality. DVDs is also another way to get some crunchy screenshots etc. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 06:08, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Moving images

Make sure the extension is lowercase. So for instance, .png vs. .PNG. The former goes. ht14 04:42, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I thought it would be like changing jpg to png thing. But sure, I'll take care of that :) ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 04:44, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Is there any reason that they're ordered though? As in... why Regirock is last, etc. From a purely curious standpoint, does it matter if they're numbered or not? ht14 04:49, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I thought it would be nice if we have stuff in a sequence so I renamed them. Is there something wrong with it? ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 04:52, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Eh. There seems to be an implication that it's that order... I presume the Regis ones were special editions and whatnot, but (1) I'll have to check and (2) I'll ask. ht14 04:57, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright, this is from what I know from Nate. "Having them ordered doesn't seem like a bad idea, but I think that special ones should have in the name why they are special." So yeah. Find the special ones and fix it up such that it parallels that, and for the others, order them. ht14 05:00, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Got it. Just to be clear, those arrangements are according to this article. My apologies, if I messed it up. I'll try to find and fix it in the correct order soon. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 05:04, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Aren't the sprites consistent for the whole generation? So File:DPPt Egg.png should be DPPtHGSS Egg.png. I would rather we use Egg as the Pokédex number and use the naming convention of the other sprites. --SnorlaxMonster 11:35, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm not much of a game fan so I don't know much about the sprites comparison but as of the article, we've used the same sprite for the whole generation as you said above. So, I'm moving it to DPPtHGSS Egg.png, thanks for the suggestion Snor. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 12:26, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

a) or b).
The former is used on the 'pedia while the latter is unused. The former shows Lucario charging the attack while the latter shows the attack being released. I don't think it is necessary to keep the two images. Pattyman 06:25, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry but talking about online video sharing sites/torrents/streams is not allowed because it is illegal.

So, I have moved and renamed the selective ones while deleted a few unnecessary shots. Still need to do something about Serperior's Energy Ball and Galvantula's String Shot.

So, we're not allowed to get images from Seviland Encyclopedia as seen here? I just wanted to know. Pattyman 02:58, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

It really bothers me when other sites uses our images without our permission. It is not strictly "prohibited" but it is against the code of ethics.

It is all right, if anything comes up in the future, please do not hesitate to let us know. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 17:23, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

That's okay. I am aware it as well as the redirects category over at BN but there are just "too many" of them and not worth our time to bother going through and mass fixing them because they are way too old. Yes, it would be nice if they are fixed but not worthy enough to be fixed right away. Another problem is that they are not just replaced by their png counterparts but with the complete different names and it will take forever to find out the right pic manually. However, if you are moving an image and the BN links are getting in the way then it is easily fixable as compared to the old news articles and as I said earlier, feel free to let me know. But thanks for bringing it up, if we are successfully done with all the current tasks, I guess it won't be a bad idea to do a mass clean up. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 18:24, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Categories

Shouldn't there be an individual category for each of these:

- Dare da?

- Pocket Monsters TV

- Pokémon Trainer's Choice

I mean, WTP has its own category so I guess it would be better if all of the above would have their own category instead of the common "Eyecatch" category. I wouldn't mind modifying to their right category either.

Personally, I don't see a problem with Dare da and Trainer's choice having their own categories. But I am not sure about Pocket Monsters TV, it doesn't need one if you ask me. Anyway, I will ask Kogoro to see what she has in mind. Until we have a decision, please do not make any new category. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 08:39, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry, I don't even know how to make a category. And besides I uploaded half of the PTC's yesterday and just put them in Eyecatch and that's it. And if you speak with Kogoro, please do not decide to mix Dare da with WTP, they're different afterall even if they're based on the same thing.----DJWolfy 08:51, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Also, since there is an individual category for Team Rocket, wouldn't be better that the images of Jessie, James and Meowth togheter in the same image be categorized as Team Rocket and not as Jessie, James, Meowth (Team Rocket) and Team Rocket ? And should only be done so when one of the memebers is missing and then for example a picture with only Meowth and James will fall in the category of James and Meowth (Team Rocket) and a picture of all 3 togheter would fall in the Team Rocket category, without the need of each of their individual category.----DJWolfy 16:29, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to barge in, but I think they shouldn't be categorized under Team Rocket; the categories themselves (James, Jessie, Meowth (Team Rocket)) should be sub-categories of Team Rocket, that way everything makes sense. ht14 03:11, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

You may be right, since TR is not only composed of them, but in that case they should only be categorized with their names and team when they are all 3 and individual only when one or two members are missing.----DJWolfy 06:42, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Abyssal Ruins - Floor images

Sorry, new here, not sure where/who to ask how I could upload this image to the Archive, or even if it's good enough.
I created it after I noticed that after all this time there still aren't any Abyssal Ruins floor images.
If it's good enough to be uploaded (or uploaded after something is changed, your choice) I will also create images for the other floors.Bramako 12:10, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Abyssal Ruins

That's alright and welcome to Bulbagarden Archives. I don't see a problem in having the screenshots of all the floors. If you have access to the game, would it be possible for you to get the actual images of the floors and not a fanmade art? I would really appreciate it. Also, you don't have to sign your comments manually. Just add 4 tildes "~" at the end of a sentence and it will automatically generate your signature along with the correct time. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 12:18, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. If I would be able to use the actual sprites I wouldn't hesitate but since I don't have an emulator or anything I would have to take pictures of my ds (every so many steps), edit out my character, paste all screens together and also remove the "3d" distortion. This seems kind of impossible. Which is why I made the floor image in illustrator. If you know a way in which I would be able to use the actual sprites I wouldn't mind making the maps with photoshop editing.Bramako 22:57, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

So

I do not want to rush you or something, but tomorrow I will be starting to add the rest of the PTC's images and I would like to know if there will be an individual category for it, so I know how I will categorize it.----DJWolfy 11:56, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry but I am extremely busy at the moment and haven't got a chance to bring up the issue yet. You can upload the rest of PTCs but do not add an individual category for now. I'll let you know when we have a final decision. Apologies for the delay. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 12:23, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok, then I'll postpone them for one or two days till you decide so instead of having to edit them again later into a PTC category.----DJWolfy 14:13, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Two days it is, at least in my time zone. Well, has the issue been resolved or should I postpone them for later ?----DJWolfy 23:19, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, please postpone. Just leave Ady alone until he has officially announced his return. Leaving a message on his talk page every day won't bring him back any faster. Jo The Marten 15:18, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok,ok. It's the 2nd time I leave a message after 2 days only. That's all. ----DJWolfy 16:19, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Finally! Thanks Adyniz, I'm still a bit busy today, I'm writing from someone else's laptop, but I think tonight or tomorrow will do. Btw do I have to add in the summary the templates instead of the usual descriptions ?----DJWolfy 14:29, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Ady

Can you upload a newer version of Candice's Medicham and upload an image for her Sneasel*? If you're having trouble finding the former, feel free to let me know. Pattyman 18:10, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Uploaded both of them. I have a few images of her Abomasnow as well but their angle is not good enough, will replace that one tomorrow or as soon as I have a better shot. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 18:22, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Good job. I like how they're high in quality. Pattyman 19:19, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

To-Do list

For the Crystal back sprites section, what is missing? It looks complete when I look through it. G50 02:36, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

I do not have my updated list at the moment but if I remember correctly, Crystal sprites are complete, we haven't updated the list yet. However, an updated to-do-list is under process. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 11:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Metadata

In the Metadata section of an image, how does the copyright holder box show up as seen here? Pattyman (talk) 22:09, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't know how it works either and I don't think I have ever seen a copyright tag on an image like that before. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 07:06, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Shiny

I just uploaded an image of a shiny Onix so it could be added to the Shiny Pokémon list in the anime. Also, the image (the Pink Pidgey) in the Pink Pokémon box is broken linked, the 2 needs to be removed so it could say Pink Pidgey in the file name. Pattyman (talk) 17:08, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

BW092.png

Thanks. Now, many BW images in WTP? article are missing. Could you fill them up? Are you able to do that? --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 10:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I am aware of it. Unfortunately, I don't have much time these days otherwise I would have uploaded the missing ones. Anyway, I'll try to upload them when I have some free time. Meanwhile, you are more than welcome to contribute. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 11:09, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. It would be my pleasure (unless it's about uploading images, because I'm not so good at that). --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 12:08, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

If you are worried about licensing and stuff then there's always room for improvement. Needless to say, the welcome template on your talk page has a lot of useful information, as you already know that. So, go through it and give it a thorough read. Look into the already uploaded images i.e how they are tagged and all the basic stuff that you need to know. If you still have questions and doubts, you can always go to the staff members. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 16:55, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Woah.

What happened when I was sleeping? Mass attack of spambots or something? Anyway... about 25 moves from B2W2 to upload, starting with Blizzard in few seconds (with 9 we already have the total goes to 33, or about 6% of every move; though Close Combat and ExtremeSpeed [we don't have these, yet] are easy to miss). Marked +-+-+ (talk) 08:54, 19 August 2012 (UTC) PS. And now total will be 34, as Agility seems to differ, too. I just uploaded it. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 09:18, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Not an attack, I just mass-blocked some of the bots. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 13:35, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

BW075

Everytime I try to reupload BW075's image, it keeps on giving me the reasons similar to a page viewed while logged out. There is this third reason saying that I have to be an admin in order to do so, which doesn't make sense since I am an admin. What appears to be wrong? Pattyman (talk) 19:15, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Are you still having the same problem? Adyniz — Wanna talk? 13:35, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

After doing some testing, I think I know what is preventing you from uploading that image. You got this error, right?

"You do not have the permission to edit this page.

If you are not logged in, please log in or create an account.

If you have not confirmed your e-mail address, please confirm your e-mail address.

If this page is protected, then only Administrators may edit this page."

The thing is, BW075's protection level is set to "upload=sysop". That means only an administrator or a higher staff member can replace the image. However, JAs can still edit the summary and fix the categories. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 16:16, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

I got the message about having the permission. Thanks for getting it cleared. Pattyman (talk) 19:35, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Damon's manga Pokémon

I uploaded three-four images that were from the manga adaptation of the 14th movie. Can you put the ones that have Damon in the file name in Damon's page as the reason for uploading them was that the Pokémon needed the images? You don't have to do anything with this one yet. Pattyman (talk) 16:14, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Pictures modified

For some reason, some images of episodes BW098, 100, 101, 102 and 103 are the same as old when you click. Must be an error or they're not modified yet. Pikachu65 (talk) 16:28, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

The server takes some time to sync/load the images, which can take from a few hours upto a few weeks. So, don't worry. The new versions will eventually appear. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 16:41, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for protecting BW101's head image. Hopefully this would make the revision on the episode page go to the current one instead of the one with the flib logo. Pattyman (talk) 23:28, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

WTP for BW057/59

I can't upload replacements so if you want, [1] and [2] are English equivalents of the images currently uploaded. --Moe (talk) 10:23, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

I have replaced both of the images with these versions. Thanks for the images. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 12:36, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

WTP for BW091

I can't find a picture of Garchomp for BW091's WTP since English dub skipped it, so there's no way to see re-air in 2013. German version won't do nothing because it must be English version. Pikachu65 (talk) 13:18, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

We will have to wait if they did not include it in the original dub airing. There might be a few other ways to get it in near future which includes DVD release, English airing outside of US (Australia, UK etc.), or they might include the WTP in the reruns. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 15:34, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Question about Anime VA photos

Hey, Ady. I was wondering if permission needed to be obtained to upload a new version of a file, specifically one of an anime voice actor. I am planning to update some English VA photos but didn't know if I needed permission from a staff member or not to do so. Satoshi101 (talk) 21:31, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

That depends. We have to be careful about choosing the pics. As in the case of Sarah Natochenny, she picked the picture herself for the article and asked Jo to replace it. If you don't mind, can you please show us the new version of the images before uploading it? Thanks. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 03:51, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

WTP for BW093

I bet Riolu will be feature in this WTP, just like in Japanese version. Or Quilava, which I don't know if it will be feature. Let's wait and see which Pokemon will be feature. Pikachu65 (talk) 12:29, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Please unprotect for uploading a new one please. KyleRGiggs (talk) 19:09, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Would it be possible for you to show the image first, if you don't mind? I am sorry but I do not want another edit war to happen, so the image protection is necessary. But if the image is good enough for the header, I'll unprotect it for you. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 05:19, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Charizard

Can you upload a newer version of Ash's Charizard from Best Wishes in order to match the images on Ash's page? Pattyman (talk) 01:01, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

I couldn't find a decent images for its header. We might have to wait for the upcoming episodes, since Charizard is going to stay for a while. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 11:05, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Jr. Administrator

Hey Adyniz, I've been making lots of edits that haven't been getting reverted recently. I was just wondering, how close do you think I am to becoming a Jr. Admin on the Archives? I amMikoro (wanna talk?) 13:26, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Good to know that your edits are not being reverted, recently. There are a lot of things we look at, edit count being one of them. Yes, you need to have more edits. No, having more edits will not automatically mean you can join the staff. We look at the quality of your contributions, your overall behavior, at how well you follow our guides and policies, and other stuff. As I have said earlier, you're not a bad user - but I wouldn't expect anything soon. It took me about two years to become an Archives JA. To put it in a nutshell, stay on a good path. Maybe you'll get there in the future. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 16:56, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. But it just seems like the staff list has not changed in a while, and every time I look at the recent changes, it seems that I am the only standard user who is making any edits. I amMikoro (wanna talk?) 10:29, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Image request (2)

Anipngs

Many browsers do not support anipngs. I was thinking about if it would be better to create a page showing which ones support them and which ones do not. It would be a help with the anipng template.
PikaTepig999 (talk) 10:32, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Personally, I don't think it needs to be mentioned in a separate page. But I guess we can make some changes in the template itself (i.e. its wording) to make it more specific. I'll have to ask Kogoro first. Though, I can't guarantee exactly when I'll be able to do so. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 11:16, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
